According to Thirty-Fifth Annual Catalog of the International YMCA College, “The Weidensall society is a voluntary organization of students for the study and discussion of rural life problems and literature and for personal development in character and in facility and power in public debate. This new literary society while not limited in membership to county work men, gives its attention nevertheless to rural life topics . . . This society is affiliated with the National Federation of Collegiate Country Life Clubs.” The society appears to have disbanded after 1923.

Text on border reads, "County Work Class 1914-15." This was originally digitized in November 2001, but rescanned because the image was flipped.
